Clone deletion not working with broadcast?

Help with Snap! Snap! Editor
1

hi! so i'm currently working a project/game that involves working with clones. it has a timed instance where you can interact with the clones, but after the timer ends, you have the option to replay or go back to the menu. when you click replay, it broadcasts a general "gameStart" message that resets a bunch of stuff, including the clones. it's meant to delete all of them and create a new board/set of clones for the next game, and as of right now, it's a simple "when i recieve gameStart, delete this clone" which was working fine until now. i didn't change anything in the sprite that creates clones of itself, but, for some reason, when you press replay, it deletes all but 1 of the clones, and i made it so that the program can't start again until all the clones are gone (without this limitation, it creates 12 clones for some reason with 7 of them in the same spot?? there's only supposed to be 6). please help!

(sorry if this is really long/overexplained)

Can you provide a link to the project?
(If you don't know how, go to File > Open > [project name] > Share, then just copy and paste the link.)

3

You know that there is a (permanent) parent sprite, that cant be deleted?

You can either click the

hide

block or you can integrate the non-clone sprite as a clone itself. If you click the stop sign, it should delete all clones, if there are still "clones" there, they are just the originals.

You have what is a called a race condition between two competing scripts which can be fixed by delaying checking for all my clones empty
